Title: Connector lock assembly
Inventor: PARSONS GEORGE W
IPC: G21F5/02
Filed: 1991-06-21
Abstract: A coupling apparatus for connecting a separable control cable assembly to a camera storage unit in a radiographic system, having a connector assembly fixed to the camera storage unit and a separable control cable assembly.  The separable control cable assembly is attached to the camera storage unit via the fixed connector assembly for controlling movement of radioactive material attached to a source cable to a desired location outside of the camera storage unit.  The camera storage unit stores the source cable and attached radioactive material in an aperture where the two are locked against removal.  Proper connection of the separable control cable assembly to the camera storage unit releases the source cable and radioactive material from their lock position.  Upon releasing the source cable and radioactive material from their lock position, the control cable assembly is prevented from being removed from the camera storage unit.  The control cable assembly, with a control cable, guides the source cable and radioactive material to a desired location and returns the source cable and radioactive material to their storage position within the camera storage unit, at which time the two are automatically locked in position and releasing of the control cable assembly is enabled.

Title: Secure telecommunications
Inventor: BULFER ANDREW F
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1992-10-20
Abstract: SECURE TELECOMMUNICATIONS Abstract A security node disposed in the telecommunications network connecting calling and called parties transforms information (which can be voice, data, facsimile, video and other types of calls or messages) encrypted in a first format to (a) encrypted information in a different format or to (b) non-encrypted information, and vice-versa. The node is accessible from any location connected to the network. By routing calls or messages originated by the calling party and destined for the called party via the security node, and providing appropriate control signals to the node, the information may be encrypted only over a portion of the transmission path between the parties, and clear over the remainder of the transmission path. Alternatively, the information may be encrypted in different portions of the path using different encryption algorithms. This arrangement enables the parties to obtain relatively secure communications even if only one party has a security device at the originating or terminating end, or if the parties have security devices using different handshaking protocols and encryption algorithms.
